The Invincible Model.
The Invincible Model is the ultimate throwback to late 1960's design.
Blended with modern nuances to create a board that slides and jives like no other.
Its narrow nose, wide tail and glassed on 9' 3/4" fin holds steady thru the longest of sections offering plenty of time up the tip.
About
DEL Surfboards was founded in New Plymouth in 1965 by Nigel Dwyer and Dave Littlejohn.
Nigel, an ex-Cronulla surfer and entrepenuer originally came to New Zealand in search of good waves and cheap ice-cream. Fifty four years on, Dwyer with right hand man Robert Walsh, who has shaped for DEL Surfboards since the early 70's continue to manufacture the finest hand crafted boards available.
Walshy with his vast knowledge, gained surfing and shaping all manner of boards from the early 60's to the present day is arguably New Zealands finest all round shaper.
The expert craftsmanship and finishing is that which could only come from the knowledge gained, as the longest standing board manufacturer in the country.
